DESCRIPTION OF SERIES
This series specification describes professional classifications used throughout State civil service to perform a broad range of interdisciplinary activities consisting primarily of analytical, consultative, and specialized evaluative tasks. Classifications in the series are progressively responsible for areas related to the administration of State programs, including a wide variety of departmental program areas, administrative functions, budgeting, planning, training, management, regulatory and legislative functions, and human resources. As incumbents progress through the series, they take on increasing levels of responsibility, complexity, and independence, with opportunities to lead projects and staff.
Analyst I
This is the recruiting and developmental multi-range class. Incumbents at this level utilize basic analytical skills to assist with various State program areas.
Under supervision, incumbents may audit, calculate, gather, tabulate, compile, reconcile, interpret, and analyze data and other materials; develop solutions, provide recommendations and develop procedures; plan, implement, monitor, forecast, and evaluate assignments, projects and program initiatives; conduct administrative compliance reviews and field evaluations; plan, implement, and conduct training; respond to public complaints and inquiries; coordinate with colleagues, coworkers, management, and/or other stakeholders to perform various tasks; plan and perform administrative analysis; review and analyze proposed legislation and advise management on the potential impact; assist with drafting regulations; and conduct program analysis. Duties and responsibilities require research, analysis, and the use of independent judgment and discretion to interpret and apply statutes, regulations, and policies and procedures.
Analyst II
This is the full journey level class. Incumbents at this level are typically subject matter generalists with independent or lead responsibility for varied and complex projects, cases, programs, or assignments.
Under direction, incumbents are assigned to work on a broad range of governmental and managerial issues that may be interdisciplinary in nature. Incumbents may conduct and/or review analytical studies and surveys; formulate procedures, policies, and program alternatives; perform program evaluation, planning and assessment; make recommendations on administrative and program-related problems; analyze, identify potential impact, and make recommendations on proposed regulations and legislation; perform analytical duties relating to budgeting or personnel management; perform policy analysis and other administrative analysis; plan, implement, and conduct training; act as field representatives in complex and controversial intergovernmental negotiations and community relations; act as a team lead or coordinate projects involving various governmental agencies; and provide consultative services and recommendations to management and others.
